Grand Place (Central Square)The Grand Place is the heart of Brussels and has been since the
Middle Ages. One of Europe's more beautiful squares, it lies in the
centre of a confusion of small cobbled streets, and is surrounded
by richly decorated 17th century Baroque Guildhouses, various
Neo-Gothic buildings and museums. It is, however, the town hall, a
magnificent Gothic building that dominates the square. Markets,
flower stalls and various events are held here and this is the
place to get to grips with the essence of Brussels, perhaps over a
local delicacy at a pavement café. |
